Why in what would seem to be a normal "fund the education in quantum technologies" order involve secret clearance delcarations?
(c) The Director may request that members of the Committee, its standing subcommittees, or ad hoc groups who do not hold a current clearance for access to classified information, receive appropriate clearances and access determinations pursuant to Executive Order 13526 of December 29, 2009 Start Printed Page 46874(Classified National Security Information), as amended, or any successor order.
I once worked for a lab that had secret projects related to quantum computing . This is pretty normal. They work on encryption and crypto-attacks that make use of quantum computing.
DoD projects go through DoE. There are some DoE projects that I know of that work on crypto and even network security. I have never heard of an HHS project working on these.
I think HHS has ties to FBI while DoE and DoD have ties to military.

Yeah, but why the Department of Energy though?
Wouldn't that go into Homeland Security?

Well, it would likely keep the compromised portions of the Bidet administration (which seems to be all of them) out of its affairs...
